    EMP vs MEP003a & 2

    That is an understatement! Not only is it scary what’s out there and who has that capability, but also how we are woefully under prepared for such attack’s.

    Laundry list for the m1009

    I paid less than $500 for two, running at takeout, complete 6.2Ls in Military engine shipping containers. Sold one that more than paid for both. Had someone offer to sell another one for $600 by someone who stopped to talk about CUCVs when leaving a restaurant. Point is, unless you want the...

    Laundry list for the m1009

    If you put in an engine like that, also plan on replacing the rear end to at least a 12 bolt or similar.

    Tire and Wheel replacement on a TSC-118 trailer

    I would check with your states DOT officer to see if it’s road legal. The Military can tow around whatever it wants. Once in civilian hands, that perk goes away. Doesn't matter if it has brakes, reflectors, wiring plug, etc. Height, width, tire size, load rating, lighting, intended use...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Early Christmas! Perfect sized trailer for the compressor.

    New Member - Potential new owner of M1008 Things to check over

    That truck is far from unmolested. I like what looks to be the starter relay hanging under dash.

    About my new 1028

    I wash the engine on my M1008A1 every month or so. Engine is turned off and I stay away from alternators and air intake opening. Simple. No issues at all. Doing it for over 3 years. Same for every vehicle I own. 2006 GMC Sierra and 2008 Chevy Silverado included. Have to wash my...

    What is my M1008 Worth?

    Plow = Abuse and salt. I wouldn’t give that truck a second look. Now the UH-1H and two AH-1s in the background........I would pay good $$$ for those. Can you PM me any details about that location and Helo owners?

    DIY m101 cover?

    eBay will have those pictures. Any boat upholstery shop also can make up a cover.

    About my new 1028

    Have you bypassed the fuel pump and ran a hose from a fuel can direct to the IP? That will tell you for sure if it’s the IP or a plugged line or air pocket. Last I read you had fuel at filter bleed screw, but nothing going into the IP. Obviously nothing coming out. I had to apply some light...

    Largest battery combinations? M1028

    I drive my M1008A1 off road almost every day on the ranch. A lot of driving is on barely improved dirt roads between my land parcels. Lots of holes and bumps. Occasionally will hit the “WTF was that!”. No cracks or fender issues and the Hawker 6TAGMs tip the scale at 88lbs each.

    Well at least he’s starting to fix known problems and not using ether.

    Largest battery combinations? M1028

    The Hawker and Odyssey 6AGMs are the best on the market. Same price range as you’ve already found out. My Hawkers are almost 4 years old and still solid. You definitely get what you pay for in battery’s. When I had my 5 ton, I did get 4 of the $200 6TLs and they worked fine. Checking the...

    Largest battery combinations? M1028

    6TLs are what the trucks left factory with. They will fit and work great. Only pic I could find showing both battery’s in my truck.

    About my new 1028

    Yes I did. I still recommend replacing parts that you know are bad before doing anything else. More ether is making problem worse.

    Trailer wheel size?

    I replaced the shocks on my trailers and it made a huge difference in the ride. Much smoother! The old shocks were completely shot. I have stock rims and tires on both. E rated. If you go with a HMMWV tire or similar, it will raise the trailer up a few inches. Makes reaching for something...

    About my new 1028

    If you know all those parts are bad, replace them before trying to start it. Do not use ether unless you want to rebuild engine. Ether also will break the piston rings. Ruins compression.

    Whoa...A Generator Forum!!!

    Actually I’m working on moving all the non gen threads out of the generator forum. Finished the first pass. Working on a second now. (Edit: Finished) Will do a third to make absolutely sure I didn’t miss anything With over 270 pages to go through, it is time consuming, but I asked for it...
